Cracking the Coding Interview, 6th Edition: 189 Programming Questions and Solutions (Cracking the Interview & Career)

This book is great for computer science students or for anyone in a similar situation looking for a graduate job. I've used it to help me in securing jobs for my placement module as part of my degree (penultimate year) . It covers everything you would need to learn to prepare you for a serious interview with a large organisation such Google, Microsoft, IBM and Oracle etc... I've read it all and seen most of the examples come up in real interviews. Its very useful, I recommend reading it if you are serious in securing a role within a large software based organisation. Not only does it help with interviews but it will help you within university itself, considering you are a student. It covers various algorithms that most students will cover within university. tdlr; helps you secure a job and helps you study for uni.

Regardless of whether you are an experienced developer, rookie, looking for a job or not, preparing for an interview or not, this book helps you refreshing and learning on a lot of topics that can help you on your daily work. It also tricks you with a lot of problems you are called to solve - and you can compare your solutions with the ones included in the book. Last, if you are preparing for an interview, it also makes you look at the interview from the other side. That may explain some weird things happening during interviews, the first of which is white board coding. The only negative thing of this book is that it's not available in digital format.

This book is very well written and has a lot of content (I’m still going through it). I’ve been developing software for over 20 years, but still found it useful, so would recommend to all levels of experience. Only slight issue is that it’s large, and heavy, and the binding seemed a little sub-optimal - that there are too many pages for a paperback book - and that soon pages may fall out.

The book's content is amazing - if you're going to have an interview, this is very likely to directly help you, even more so indirectly (if you've done the practice problems). From what I've seen from the previous editions, there's a fair amount of additional content (on cool topics), so this might be a reason to 'upgrade'. Another addition seems to be the 'Hints' section, which, while useful, is an absolute pain in the ass to use, being at the back of the book, and the numbers being scrambled around. The book I received also appeared to have some water damage or similar - which is both slightly annoying because of the high price (incl. international shipping), as well as the fact that the packaging seemed to be completely fine.

In pristine condition with prompt delivery. Great book, thoroughly enjoyable if you like tech, that is. Lovely little bookshop, sent me a thoughtful note, making me feel a special buyer. I can highly recommend. Will be ordering happily again.

Reading books was never my 'thing', but this is different! Starting with a few online videos from the author, the magic begins! highly recommended, not only if you're looking getting good for an interview but also for improving your self, how you think and how you work will be improved in many ways. Any level of developer you might be, I believe you have to go through the book at least once. It's not only about algorithms and data structures, even if you're not keen on them, go through the logic the author provides, it will make you better at thinking in in general. To prepare for the interviews, make sure you go through the book months before, or you might regret not having enough time to practice what you learn here! To prepare how to interview, it will make you and your company look great to a new candidate and it will help you on how to think of the candidate as well! Go for it and you'll fall in love!

The book is reasonably priced for what it is. It is very helpful when preparing to interviews as well as a generic reference for basic algorithms and CS theory. The information is layed out logically and is very easy to comprehend, the practice puzzles are a great fun too. I often find myself doing the puzzles in some exotic languages I want to learn (eg. Crystal, Julia, Rust or haskell, etc). I do not have any reservations in recommending this book as an interview preparation material (in addition to wonderful resources like interviewbit.com and carreercup.com, etc). Money well spent!

The content of this book is great, there are lots of good problems, info on the interview process, and good tutorials about how to solve different problems. I wish the system design section was longer. The quality of the paperback edition is terrible, after only a week of light use sections of pages came off the binding (cheap glue), and it gradually disintegrated. I luckily got a refund, but I was surprised how quickly it came apart. Definitely go for the hardback edition.

The perfect choice to land your next programming job, all the text, diagrams and code printed are readable and very easy to follow.

The sixth edition is expanded and features some great insights, not only for those who are job hunting, but also helps developers establish topics on which they need to focus. It's a shame it's not available as an ebook but one can understand the author's (and publishers') motivations.

Ne sono rimasto soddisfatto. All'interno si trova una panoramica completa su tutto ciò che riguarda i colloqui con le grandi aziende, comprese le domande più comuni e le richieste che potrebbero essere avanzate. I quesiti sono stimolanti e le soluzioni suggerite sono spiegate con chiarezza. Anche se il testo è interamente in inglese, risulta comprensibile e la lettura è scorrevole. Il libro è arrivato puntualmente e in perfette condizioni. Lo consiglio vivamente.

You can learn everything online; just learn code stuff and some basic advice.
